I'm not much of a fan of MaryJanice Davidson's writing, but I like the premise of this series enough that I'll read the other two books. ( ) The modern king of Alaska (don't ask) meets a sassy blonde and decides she will be the perfect wife for his son. Everybody more or less goes along with this and it becomes kind of a weird alternate-universe (see Alaska, above) 'Princess Diaries' with Ron Perelman in the Julie Andrews role and the baboon from 'Lion King' in the Hector Elizondo part. Overall, it's a funny, sexy read, though I probably won't go back for the other two "Alaskan Royal Family" books by this author. An hour after casting aside this book in exasperation, I still can’t understand how the author of the brilliant and hilarious [b:Undead and Unwed|421129|Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1)|MaryJanice Davidson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298768655s/421129.jpg|2523603] could have squeezed out this mechanical, monotonous, and embarassingly unfunny lemon. The alternative history premise is childish in execution. The U.S. turns down Russia’s bargain offer of Alaska. The Russian residents declare unilateral independence and set up their own kingdom. One-and-a-half centuries later everyone in Alaska, from the king down, is speaking in colloquial English. Why? A down-and-out cook from a cruise liner docked in Juneau decides to spend her last few dollars on a fishing excursion. The owner of the boat turns out to be the King of Alaska, indulging in a little secret slumming. That’s funny? The Crown Prince has a PhD in marine biology and loves feeding penguins that peck and poop. Hilarious? The ‘jokes’ are so unfunny that I can’t help feeling Ms Davidson’s attention was far, far away when she wrote them. Or perhaps she was under psychological duress and the jokes were extracted without benefit of anaesthesia. There’s no accounting for taste, but that doesn’t begin to explain why I found [b:Undead and Unwed|421129|Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1)|MaryJanice Davidson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298768655s/421129.jpg|2523603] so funny, and [b:The Royal Treatment|574854|The Royal Treatment (Alaskan Royal Family, #1)|MaryJanice Davidson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190861579s/574854.jpg|602352] so unreadable.
